Trade Accountant

Trade Accountant (Commercial Finance Commodity Trading)

If you're sitting in a traditional accounting role and starting to feel like you want more exposure to the actual business, this could be the move that changes your career

We're working with a global player in the commodities space, looking to bring in a Trade Accountant to sit right at the heart of their trading operation

This is not your typical finance role. You'll be working closely with traders and operational teams, getting real visibility into how deals are structured, how markets move, and how financial performance is driven day to day

You'll take ownership of daily trade P&L reporting, ensuring accuracy, integrity, and alignment to market activity. You'll monitor positions, exposures, and working capital, and play a key role in identifying discrepancies and resolving them quickly

You'll be involved in month end close and management reporting, providing meaningful insights and commentary that actually support decision making, not just tick a box

You'll also be part of strengthening controls, supporting audit processes, and helping improve systems and processes - including automation and reducing manual work

On top of that, you'll work closely across trading, operations, and finance, acting as a true business partner in a fast paced, commercially driven environment
